What Is Bitcoin?

The anxious anchor.

Bitcoin is the first and largest cryptocurrency, launched in 2009 as a decentralised digital currency. On the CFGI Bitcoin fear and greed index it is the reference point the whole crypto market's sentiment is priced against, but not in the way most people assume. Bitcoin does not lead and the alts do not lag. Hour by hour, sentiment across the majors moves with Bitcoin's at the same moment, with no measurable delay in either direction. The market reprices emotion once, together, and Bitcoin is where that emotion is read first.

The CFGI read: Bitcoin's sentiment and price peaked within three days of each other in October 2025, and its deepest Extreme Fear reading, 10 out of 100 on 5 February 2026, printed on the day five majors bottomed together, at a price within 5% of the year's eventual low. On CFGI data, Bitcoin's emotional extremes have coincided with the market's turning points rather than preceded them.

Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index History: June 2025 to June 2026

The anchor is also the most nervous crowd we track. Between June 2025 and June 2026, BTC closed 11 days in Extreme Fear, more than any other token in our top fifteen, against just 2 days in Extreme Greed. That nervousness tracked a brutal year for the price, which fell 44% from $109,817 on 10 June 2025 to $61,656 by 10 June 2026.

The arc ran like this. Sentiment peaked at 82 on 3 October 2025 with Bitcoin trading at $122,182; the price topped three days later at $124,966. In the crash of 8 to 11 October, BTC fell 10%, the smallest drop of the big five in that window, which is the anchor doing what anchors do. The real damage came in the new year: between 20 January and 5 February 2026 the price fell 28% to $63,849, and on 5 February the score printed its yearly low of 10, deep Extreme Fear, on the same day Ethereum, BNB, XRP and Solana all bottomed too. By 5 March the price had recovered to $71,296. The year's longest Extreme Fear streak arrived later still: four consecutive days from 3 to 6 June 2026, part of a stretch in which every token in our top fifteen sat in Fear or worse at once, and the price set its twelve-month low of $60,816 on 6 June, even though the sentiment score never revisited February's depth. Across the year's 365 daily readings, the zone split tells the same story as the extremes: 91 days in Fear against 86 in Greed, and 175 in Neutral, a crowd that leans cautious even in its quiet months.

One more number defines Bitcoin's role. On the 46 days in the window when its score fell ten points or more, Bitcoin's average sentiment move was larger than any major alt's. The crowd that everything else is measured against is itself the quickest to fear and the slowest to euphoria, and that combination, visible nowhere else but in sentiment data, is the single most useful thing for traders to know about how crypto market sentiment actually breathes.
